The present invention relates to a game system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a game system and method using a swing gage (swing gage).

With the development and expansion of communication networks, the Internet population is rapidly increasing, and with the growth of the Internet, various web contents including electronic commerce, portals, and games are provided.

Online games played online are becoming increasingly popular among young people. Online games include arcade games, role-playing games, strategy simulation games, shooting games, sports games such as car racing or golf, Adventure games are provided.

Among these games, in particular, ball games such as golf, baseball, volleyball, billiard, etc., using a ball, swing means for moving the ball in a direction and a position intended by the user are provided. Hereinafter, the swing means is referred to as a swing gage for convenience of description, where "swing" refers to an act of moving a ball in a ball game, such as a shot of a golf game.

The swing gauge may be formed in various forms, and generally moves or stops according to a user's operation on a predetermined zone for determining a moving direction or a rotation amount of the ball, and a movement guide for guiding movement to the zone. It includes a scroll bar.

If you want to swing the ball using the swing gauge having the structure as described above in the game of the ball game, the scroll bar starts to move along the movement guide according to the user's first operation, and then the user's second operation. The scroll bar moving along will stop. Then, the movement direction (or / and rotation amount) of the ball is determined according to the positional relationship between the stop position of the scroll bar and the zone, and the swing is performed such that the ball moves in the determined movement direction. In this case, the distance the ball moves is determined according to the scroll bar's movement state, and the ball moves in the predetermined direction by the determined distance.

By the way, when playing a ball game such as golf, baseball using a swing gauge that operates as described above, even if you want to swing a high difficulty or a low difficulty swing there is no difference in the operation of the swing gauge The downside is that the fun of the game is inferior.

For example, in an actual golf game played off-line, it is much harder to spin the ball and swing, i.e., to shot. However, in the related art, spin is selectively applied to a ball by simply positioning a scroll bar in which the user moves the movement guide in the zone while the position of the zone of the swing gauge is always fixed.

As described above, even when a swing having a high difficulty such as giving a spin to a ball or a swing having a low difficulty, a scroll bar is placed in a zone by operating a swing gauge that maintains the same shape. There is a disadvantage that the game is less interesting.

 Therefore, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the prior art, to improve the fun of the golf game by selectively changing the state of the swing gauge for determining the movement state of the ball in the ball game using the ball It is.

In particular, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to vary the display state of the swing gauge to selectively vary the ease of swing gauge operation.

In addition, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to change the display state of the swing gauge according to the user's option setting in the game.

Game method according to the characteristics of the present invention for achieving the technical problem, the game method according to another aspect of the present invention, a method for playing ball game using a ball in the swing for the user to play the game for the game Providing a gauge, wherein the swing gauge includes an impact zone that determines the direction of the ball's shot, and a scroll bar that moves over the swing gauge; b) determining the difficulty of the swing gauge operation; c) when the first operation signal is input by the user, starts to move the scroll bar from the start position toward the switching point; and when the second operation signal is input, detects the position of the scroll bar when the second operation signal is input. Recording by; d) stopping the scroll bar and detecting the stop position when a third operation signal is input by the user; e) fading out the display state of the impact zone of the swing gauge while the scroll bar moves according to the difficulty; f) determining a moving distance of the ball based on the recorded position, and determining a moving direction and a rotation amount of the ball according to the relation between the stop position and the impact zone position; And g) moving a ball in the determined moving direction by the determined moving distance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.

The game system according to the embodiment of the present invention selectively changes the swing gauge for setting the batting parameters in order to further enhance the fun of the game in the ball game using the ball. Here, the batting variable is a variable for determining the movement state of the ball at the time of batting, and includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the distance the ball moves, the direction in which the ball moves (or the batting direction), the amount of rotation of the ball, and the like.

The swing gauge that allows the user to adjust these batting parameters includes an impact zone that determines the direction and / or rotation amount of the ball, and in addition, includes a scroll bar that moves the swing gauge according to a user's manipulation.

1 illustrates a structure of a swing gauge according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the swing gauge SG1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a long bar shape in a horizontal direction, and provides a ball movement direction and / or a rotation amount of the ball at a predetermined position. An impact zone IZ is formed to determine the impact zone IZ, and the impact zone IZ includes a timing point P at which a best swing appears at approximately the center portion. The timing point P is a point at which the best swing is best made for the batting point intended by the user, and the remaining area of the impact zone IZ except for the timing point P is a normal swing in which the area surrounding the batting point intended by the user is hit. This is done.

Scroll bar (B) is formed on the swing gauge (SG1) to be movable, start to move in the direction of the arrow from the predetermined starting position (S), then move to the switching point (T) and change the direction to the impact zone (IZ) Move.

The movement distance of the ball, the direction of movement, and / or the amount of rotation of the ball are determined according to the movement position of the scroll bar moving the swing gauge according to the user's operation, the position of the scroll bar stopping and the impact zone moving while stopping, and the impact zone. do. For example, when the scroll bar B stops at the timing point P of the impact zone IZ, it becomes a best swing. When the scroll bar B stops within the impact zone IZ, a swing is normally performed. If the scroll bar B stops outside the impact zone IZ, it may become a miss swing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the display state of the impact zone on the swing gauge is varied so that the operation of locating the scroll bar at the optimal position of the impact zone becomes difficult or easy. For example, the lower the difficulty, the greater the sharpness of the impact zone, so that users can accurately identify the location of the impact zone and easily stop the moving scrollbar in the impact zone. In addition, the higher the difficulty, the less sharpness of the impact zone, making it difficult for users to identify the location of the impact zone, making it difficult to manipulate the scroll bar optimally in the impact zone for the best swing. Here, the degree of difficulty may vary for each hit point according to whether the spin is applied to the ball, the spin intention of the user indicating the degree of spin application, or may vary for each grade representing the game skill of the user. However, those that determine the difficulty are not limited to those described above.

In the meantime, the impact zone is displayed on the screen to indicate the degree of identification to the users, and values for changing the display degree such as sharpness and brightness may be used. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display state of the impact zone is described by using the sharpness. However, the display state of the impact zone may be changed by changing other values indicating the display degree.

As a method of varying the display state of the impact zone of the swing gauge step by step, a method of sequentially changing the display state of the impact zone, that is, the sharpness, until the first scroll bar moves and stops. There may be a method of displaying an impact zone with a sharpness of one step, that is, a method of displaying an impact zone with a sharpness set according to the difficulty level when displaying a swing gauge on a screen.

In the first method, the sharpness of the impact zone is fixed to the default value while the scroll bar moves from the start position to the transition point, and the sharpness of the impact zone is changed while the scroll bar moves from the predetermined position (for example, the transition point) to the impact zone. Can be varied. In this case, the sharpness of the impact zone may be sequentially reduced from the default value to "0" so that the impact zone may not be sequentially displayed. Alternatively, the impact zone may be reduced to a predetermined value set according to the difficulty level from the default value, so that the impact zone may be sequentially displayed at low sharpness. Alternatively, the sharpness of the impact zone may be reduced to a predetermined value set directly from the default value.

According to this process, the impact zone fades out while the scroll bar moves and stops. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to place the scroll bar in the impact zone where the user fades out, and the ease of the swing gauge operation can be diversified by adjusting the degree of the impact zone fading out.

Next, a specific structure and operation of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking a case where a method of varying a swing gauge based on the first method is applied to a golf game as an example. Variable swing gauge based on the second method above can be easily devised by those skilled in the art based on the following embodiments, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the user may further include an over power setting unit (OP) for setting an over power option for applying a larger power value than that provided to swing means such as a club selected by the user.

On the other hand, the game database server 30 provides a plurality of information for the game. 6 illustrates a detailed structure of a game database according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, only the representative components of the game server referred to each database are illustrated, and the relationship between the database and the game server is illustrated, but is not limited to the relationship shown.

As shown in FIG. 6, the game database server 30 includes a character database 31, a club database 32, a gauge database 33, a rating database 34, a game progress database 35, and a background database 36. It includes.

The character database 31 stores characteristics of the corresponding character for each of a plurality of characters provided in the game system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the abilities that are basically given to the character may be stored. For example, description of what characteristics each character has and the value of the basic ability value exhibited by the character are set. Here, the abilities that are basically given to each character may be different. For example, the character 1 has a long flying distance while the ability is set so that the swing is less stable or accurate, while the character 2 has a shorter distance, while the ability is set to have a good swing stability or accuracy.

The club database 32 stores information about golf clubs used in golf games, that is, clubs. Clubs are categorized as drives, woods, irons, pitching wedges, sand wedges, and putters. Clubs of this kind form a set and call this set a club set.

And a separate database in which user information such as a telephone number) is stored.

In the game system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the servers 10 to 50 are classified in terms of their functions, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, components of each server may be selectively included as needed, and each component may be implemented as an independent server to process corresponding functions. Further, the databases 31 to 36 are also not limited to being classified as described above.

Next, the operation of the game system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the structure.

7A and 7B illustrate an overall operation of a golf game according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 illustrates a swing gauge variable state.

First, as shown in FIG. 7A, a user connected to the game system 100 through a network may play a golf game with one or more other users, or may play a single game of golf alone. You can choose to. After the game type is selected, the user can select a character to play the game. In addition, the user can select one of a plurality of golf courses.

For example, when a character is selected, the character selector 21 reads the capability value corresponding to the selected character from the character database 31 and sets it as the user's capability value. In this case, the user grade may be determined according to the user's capability (S100).

Next, the user selects a club set to use when playing the game (S110). The club selector 22 provides information about a plurality of club sets provided in the system, and based on this information, the user selects a predetermined club set. In this case, you can choose a set of clubs whose priority is distance or swing stability or swing accuracy or risk management. In this case, the selected club set may be provided to the user only when the user's ability value, that is, the user's ability value and the required ability value given to the club set selected by the user is satisfied.

Club set selection is made as described above, and when the user selects one club from the selected club set, the gauge generator 25 displays the swing gauge on the screen. At this time, the gauge generator 25 generates and displays a swing gauge based on the gauge generation value from the gauge database 33 (S120). In this case, the length of the swing gauge and the width of the impact zone may be adjusted and displayed according to the application ability value granted to the club selected by the user.

When the swing gauge is displayed, the user sets the hit point. When the user wants to set a hit point, the hit point determination unit 23 provides a spin gauge for setting the hit point, and determines the hit point according to a signal input through the spin gauge (S130 to S150). For example, when the user places the cursor displayed on the screen by using an input device such as a mouse or a keyboard as the impact zone IZ on the swing gauge, the spin gauge SG2 is displayed. When the user drags the batting point located at the center of the spin gauge with a mouse or the like to move to a predetermined position, the position of the moved batting point is determined as the batting point to be applied during the swing. Further, the distance between the detected hit point and the center point of the spin gauge, for example, the distance between the hit point and the center point on a virtual two-dimensional plane coinciding with the screen is obtained.

Gauge control unit 24 determines the difficulty level of the gauge adjustment step according to the user's intention. The difficulty is determined according to the distance between the batting point and the center point obtained by the batting point determiner 23 and / or the direction of the batting point based on the center point, and referring to the gauge database 33 or based on the calculation. Accordingly, a value for adjusting the sharpness that is the display state of the impact zone IZ of the swing gauge SG1 is obtained (S160).

After the batting point is determined, when the first operation signal is input according to a user's mouse or keyboard input device operation (S170), as shown in FIG. 8A, the gauge adjusting unit 26 performs a swing gauge SG1. Start to move the scroll bar (B) of the) from the start position to the switching point (T) (S180).

As shown in FIG. 7B, when the second manipulation signal is input from the user while the scroll bar B is moved in accordance with the first manipulation signal (S190), the manipulation amount detection unit 27 may determine that the second manipulation signal is input. The position (recording position) of the scroll bar is detected (S200). Accordingly, the distance determination module 281 of the shot processing unit 28 finally determines the distance to which the ball is to move substantially based on the recording position (S210). For example, even if the maximum distance is 200m according to the club's application capability, if the user inputs the second operation signal at a point 100m, the distance actually applied is determined to be 100m.

Next, the gauge adjusting unit 26 varies the display state of the impact zone IZ of the swing gauge SG1 according to the gauge adjusting value determined based on the difficulty from the time when the recording position is detected (S220). As illustrated in FIG. 8, while the scroll bar B moves from the position at which the recording position is detected to the impact zone IZ, the sharpness of the impact zone IZ is sequentially reduced in accordance with the gauge adjustment value. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the sharpness of the impact zone IZ is gradually decreased while the scroll bar B is moved, and the scroll bar B is the impact zone IZ. When nearly reaches, the impact zone IZ may not be displayed by setting the sharpness of the impact zone IZ to “0” as shown in FIG. 8 (d). Therefore, as the impact zone IZ is not displayed or blurred on the screen, it is not easy to position the scroll bar B at the timing point P of the impact zone IZ.

As described above, when the display state of the impact zone is variable, when the user inputs a third operation signal, the gauge adjustment unit 26 stops the scroll bar B that has moved, and the operation amount detection unit 26 scrolls the scroll bar B. Stop positions are determined (S230 to S240). Then, the spin determination module 282 of the shot processing unit 28 finally determines the moving direction and the rotation amount of the ball according to the positional relationship between the stop position of the scroll bar B and the impact zone (S260). Thus, the ball movement module 283 moves the ball by the final determined distance while moving the ball in the final determined direction of movement.

At this time, when the scroll bar B is not displayed or stops in the timing point P of the impact zone IZ that is blurred, for example, a best shot in which the ball is rotated while flying in the direction according to the target hit point intended by the user. When the scroll bar B stops while moving away from the timing point P, a shot is rotated while moving in a direction different from a predetermined angle of the hitting direction intended by the user according to the deviation. In addition, when the scroll bar B stops outside the impact zone IZ, a miss shot is made.

On the basis of the shot, the movement path in which the ball flies by the screen processor 29 is displayed, and the ball moves and stops as far as the flying distance in the determined direction (S270).

Next, the evaluation server 30 calculates a score according to the position and the number of strokes of the ball moved according to the user's shot (S280).

The golf game is continued in the manner as described above (S290 ~ S300), and after the game is finished, the point providing unit 31 of the evaluation server 30 determines the win or lose of the game according to the user's final score ( In operation S310, a new game is optionally performed in operation S320.

According to this embodiment, the display state of the impact zone of the swing gauge is changed according to the difficulty of the swing determined based on the hitting point determined according to the hitting intention of the user. Therefore, the swing gauge operation state according to the difficulty is variable, so that the user can play the game in more various ways, so that the fun for the game can be improved.

Meanwhile, in the above embodiment, the display state of the entire impact zone is changed. Alternatively, the display state of a specific area, for example, a timing point, may be changed.

In addition, as a variable for determining the difficulty level for varying the display state of the impact zone, a hitting point according to the intention of the hitting of the user is used. It may be. However, the variable for determining the difficulty level according to the present invention is not limited to this and various ones may be used.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the display state of the impact zone is changed from the time when the recording position is detected, but the time for changing the display state of the impact zone is not limited thereto.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the spin gauge is used as a means for setting the hitting point, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the hitting point may be set by the user by selecting a hitting point after the system provides various hitting points. Hit point setting methods may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the movement direction and the rotation amount of the ball are determined according to the positional relationship between the stop position of the scroll bar and the impact zone, but the distance that the ball moves may additionally vary according to the positional relationship. That is, even if the moving distance of the ball is determined according to the recording position, if the stop position of the scroll bar is out of the impact zone, the ball may not be moved by the determined moving distance.

Next, a description will be given of a method of changing the display state of the swing gauge according to whether or not the option for the batting variable for determining the ball movement state is set.

For the fun of the game in the ball game, an over power option may be provided that allows a greater stat to be applied than a statistic given to a swing means such as a club selected by the user.

When the over power option is set, the swing gauge is varied to allow the user to determine how much over power is applied. 9 illustrates a structure of a swing gauge that is changed when an over power is applied. When overpower is applied, as shown in FIG. 9, the overpower region OP is formed on one side of the swing gauge including the impact zone IZ and the scroll bar B. FIG.

Hereinafter, a method of operating a swing gauge whose display state is changed according to the over power option setting will be described.

10 illustrates a game method using a swing gauge according to another embodiment of the present invention sequentially. In FIG. 10, the process of manipulating the degree to which the over power is applied will be mainly described, and since the swing operation performed after the over power operation is performed in the same manner as in the above embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the user sets the over power option to allow the ball to move at an increased power more than the set power at the time of swinging through the over power setting unit OP (S400), the gauge control unit 24 according to the over power option swing gauge ( A gauge adjustment value for forming the over power region OP in the SG1 is generated and provided to the gauge adjustment unit 26. Accordingly, the gauge adjuster 26 adjusts the swing gauge in the form as shown in FIG. 9 by adding an over power region OP to the swing gauge generated by the gauge generator 25 (S410).

When the user inputs the first operation signal in a state in which the over power region OP is added to the swing gauge SG1 and is displayed (S420), the gauge adjuster 26 moves the scroll bar B to the start position S. Starts moving in the direction of the arrow, that is, in the direction of the over power region (S430), and when the second manipulation signal is input, the scroll bar B is continuously moved to the overpower region OP while the second manipulation signal is input. (S440 to S450).

When the input of the second operation signal is stopped, the scroll bar B starts to move back to the start position S again. At this time, the manipulated variable detection unit 27 detects the position of the scroll bar B corresponding to the time when the input of the over power manipulation signal is stopped, and the distance determination module 281 of the shot processing unit 28 is located at the detected position. Accordingly, the moving distance of the ball, that is, the moving distance to which the over power is applied is determined (S460 to S490). For example, the user first clicks the scroll bar B at the start position S by using an input device such as a mouse, and the scroll bar B is the over power area OP at the start position. After moving to the first point OP1 of the overpower area, the mouse and the like are clicked again for the second time, and the click state is maintained. When the scroll bar B moves to the second point OP2 of the over power area OP and the user releases the mouse by releasing the mouse to release the click state, the scroll bar B returns to the start position S. The moving distance is determined according to the position of the scroll bar B at the time of releasing the operation. In this case, when the click state is released while the scroll bar B is moved to the second point OP2 of the over power area, the maximum moving distance according to the over power option is determined, and the scroll bar B is the second point ( If the click state is released while the OP2) is not reached, the moving distance is determined to be smaller than the maximum moving distance.

Thereafter, when the third operation signal is input, the scroll bar B is stopped, and the stop position is detected by the manipulated variable detector 27 (S500 to S520). When the stop position is detected, the spin determination module 282 of the shot processing unit 28 determines the movement amount and the rotation amount of the ball according to the positional relationship between the stop position and the impact zone IZ, and the ball movement module 283 The ball is moved in proportion to the determined moving distance while the ball is rotated according to the rotation amount (S530 to S540).

According to this embodiment, the user can easily set a value to which the option is applied by using a swing gauge whose display state is changed according to the set option. In addition, since the distance to which the over power is applied can be set by the selection operation, for example, the operation of holding and releasing the mouse click during the swing gauge operation, the movement distance can be conveniently set as compared to the number of click operations.

On the other hand, the game method according to the embodiments described above is not limited to the swing gauge consisting of the structure described above, including the impact zone and the direction of movement and / or rotation of the ball by placing a predetermined means in the impact zone All of them are applicable to the structure that determines. For example, the swing gauge consists of two first and second swing gauges positioned relative to the impact zone. The first described above also applies to twin gauges that determine the direction of movement or / and amount of rotation of the ball in accordance with the positional relationship between the stop position of the first and second scrollbars moving the first and second swing gauges, respectively, and the impact zone. By applying an embodiment, the display state of the impact zone can be changed. In addition, the second embodiment may be applied to additionally display the overpower region and easily set the overpower application value according to the manipulation of the first and / or second scroll bars.                     

In addition, although the above-described embodiment is described based on a method of playing a game using a swing gauge according to the present invention in a golf game, the present invention is not limited to a golf game and can be applied to all games using a ball.

In addition, although the above-described embodiment has been described based on a game being made through a network, the game system and method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a game played offline.

In addition, the game methods described above may be implemented in the form of a program stored in a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium may include any kind of recording device that stores data that can be read by a computer. For example, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, and the like may be used. Included is implemented in the form of).

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the most practical and preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above disclosed embodiments, but also includes various modifications and equivalents within the scope of the following claims.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display state of the swing gauge is changed according to a predetermined difficulty level in the ball game, so that the user can enjoy the game more variously.

In addition, the user can easily set a value to which the option is applied by using a swing gauge whose display state is changed according to the set option. In addition, since the distance to which the over power is applied can be set by the operation of holding and releasing the mouse click during the swing gauge operation, the movement distance can be conveniently set as compared to the number of click operations. Therefore, the operation feeling of the swing gauge is improved and the user can enjoy the game more conveniently.
